No introduction of yet always present in the universe of effects pedals. Despite its creation date, I do not know much distortion pedal for electric guitar which rivals! Powerful and versatile, it will revive all the followers of heavy distortions (Ideal Death / Black Metal / Trash) and softer, offering a range of sound both rock and grunge. Connection via Jack sockets. Mains or battery 9v.

Very strong, fairly well designed, it is a small analog distortion pedal on which much has already been written. Escape of a golden age that we would now gone, that was where the Heavy Metal music purists in search of authenticity and not a business in which the same principles we try to apply that took Skin rap (I find that there is a world of difference between "Fear of a Black Planet" by Public Enemy - how I loved and commercial soup we refile the young But I digress).
MT2 "Metal Zone", then! The least we can say is that the opinions are divided. So here came time for me to take sides.
No, it is not the monster that violence is described: you can actually get caricatured sounds borderline ridiculous but it is not the goal. Stack a tube Hi-Gain pushed tab will always better in terms of aggression (I did not say gain, I said attack!) Which is quite logical considering that it cost twenty times more expensive!
However MT2 allows the guitarist to good taste (for metal and toc) but unfortunately impoverished access to Hi-Gain cheaply. Therefore, in these times it Painkiller, Altar of Sacrifice, The Lions Den and all other gems of our heritage! God created the Heavy Metal and benevolence he thought all purses!
Guitar in, amp out, a power supply plug Boss, the beast can run on 9 volt battery. No true bypass but it is remarkably transparent. 4 knobs, two of which are dual function that makes us 6 settings!
Level, Hi, Low, Mid, Mid Freq, Dist. The latter corresponds to the setting of Gain. The amount of gain that is capable this pedal is simply ridiculous. I played ultra-violent stuff a good part of my life (no, I'm not talking about Fashion-New-Emo Metal girls with rimel and nails all black and pout today, I talking about stuff men!) and I do not see any that may well need such a level of gain! In any case, my DOD DEATH METAL I had in the 90s certainly did not gain much, and yet I feel like humbuckers mounted on a chainsaw when I tried to play with. .. well, never mind.
A variety of groups have achieved excellent albums with the "Swiss Army knife of distortion" (to borrow a phrase from "guigue106") and those who preceded him at BOSS: before 5150 it was not so obvious to fuck a big sound Hi-Gain reasonable volume!
[b]UTILIZATION[/b]
I highly recommend putting all settings to 50% otherwise it could be quite unsettling! The equalizer allows such a variation of the tone that is quickly lost and light years away from her that we had in mind! This makes this pedal rather inaccessible at first, he must grope, and do not forget that the guitar also has settings, so do not hesitate to vary the volume and tone of the latter!
I mainly used with with a Jackson Dinky (Seymour Duncan SH1) An ESP MII (EMG 81) and a Stratocaster (FAT 50), it was fairly respectful of his guitar in all .. . Okay, that is not a Princeton Reverb not eh!
[b]SOUND QUALITY[/b]
The four-band EQ provides a wide variety of sounds that is a fact. Big sound consistent enough to ice flood of notes with a finger raised, lowered and another two fingers up! Followers of the True Black Metal is here as it happens! Thrashmen from all sides you are also welcome!
Do not listen to the apostles of "ooh it's always the same sound loud!" : Arch is super fake! Good "Hard rocker" which has a minimum of baggage in styles a little pêchus will tell you: "mediums, it is the largest in the Heavy Metal!" (Other sounds also retorts bluesman who I replied "Good! But will see the side of the TS 808 friend, here it is not for you!") Therefore hold that the young gain MT2 100% equalization fucks a "V" and his guitar unresolved branch with rotten on the poor pedal cords that had not asked for anything before addressed to its solid state amp (or worse, modeling!) inevitably gets cold and his final frankly disgusting. It is cruel, especially as each of us deserves a good sound!
So why not lower the gain already 50% up mediums, go easy on the bass and treble, then set all the onions to your liking? Well done, sent to an amplifier whose lamps are highly stressed, here are available to you excellent sound!
Personal note: it also works with women ...
There are more than a little work accuracy and fast you'll end up with a sound fucking killer!
The spectrum covered by this pedal is so broad that it seems to me frankly difficult to identify general characteristics. Mutes can be deaf or very aggressive. Attacks pick can be either too invasive, sometimes rather smooth ... The sound is the time from the edge, sharp, it can pierce the mix with some authority, unlike anything you have to say as nonsense . It will be difficult to have a chubby with his other hand ... Let us therefore directly defects.
The shortcomings of this bug then? Outside its totally unusable Gain 3h past (and personally, I really think this applies to all the knobs, but after all, everyone's tastes!) It lacks dynamics. if so. It has a fairly strong compression and frankly, even setting reasonable gain (10am!) Audio only brighten when decreases (ie when descending because it decreases down to when is a good GV , which may include especially you, Dede! but I digress again) the volume of the guitar (for which we do not need CATi). So we will experience the greatest difficulty in getting a little dirty clear, including with a cut for that guitar ... You will struggle to qualify his game .. That is why it shines guèrepour Vintage rock and blues . The counterpart is that we did not really need to attack with, so that the beginner who has made all his education in the company of the beast is destabilized enough the first time he finds himself on a real amp stuffed with tubes. He finds that it lacks fishing, which is normal since it does not attack! But that's another story ...
[b]OVERALL OPINION[/b]
MT2 is a good little pedal rather endearing, well built, cheap and fucks a mitigated by the fault of the poor guy who did not understand that his is above all in the fingers, then the reputation guitar, strings, pickups and finally the amp. It is not really versatile, it goes from big at Hard Rock Death Metal, she knows how to do it, but after all it was created for this purpose and it does it very well. She deserves that we spend time on! But that also applies to my FUZZ FACE for a Tube Screamer for an old KLON or a whole lot of good amps! In music we have something for nothing, that's all!
This is already a classic and I think it could ultimately become a legend as some of his ancestors once we have understood that the pedals special emulation Screamo / Fake / Neo / Metal are perfect for styles which they intending, ie .. But do show respect ... anyway!
Ah no, my good lady, it's not a pedal for pussies! But I heartily recommend the young who want to have fun with music that ruffles the hair, smelling of leather and sweat! It will pay for!
Examples of sounds with a Stratocaster equipped with simple!
Accept Princess of the dawn: LEVEL (12) HI (1h) LOW (1h) MIDDLE (12) MID FREQ (1h) DIST (10:30)
King Diamond, Victimized: LEVEL (12) HI (11:30) LOW (1h) MIDDLE (24:30) MID FREQ (11h) DIST (1:30)

[b]UTILIZATION[/b]
It's pretty simple, and it is interesting to see how the EQ gives its color to the sound. I play thrash and manuals provide options, but personally, I find it more interesting to look yourself.
[b]SOUND QUALITY[/b]
Well, it does not lack punch and less aggression, this side no complaints. After I think it is each recipe. For my part, I find the sound compressed, nasal, it emits a lot of breath and feedback even at low volume (I recommend using it with a noise gate). It's funny when you're in the room you can make such a feedback, but I guess it's more hassle when the sound is background.
If you want a consistent sound, solid and body, forget this pedal. on the other hand, for fans of the under or over dripping sounds, it will do.
[b]OVERALL OPINION[/b]
It was one of my first pedals I've used quite a few actually. She never gave me too much more. A twisted knobs and caps out easily. You can always do something, personally I use when I want a dripping sound ominous ... Basically, it seems to me not bad for the black death or under, but for a more consistent sound thrash (Testament, for example) I do not find it terrible.

[b]UTILIZATION[/b]
Switch activation classic and very well designed, responds well and does not spoil.
[b]SOUND QUALITY[/b]
You can get the sounds you want through the tone controls, and adjust the level of distortion and the distortion level between on or off (to adjust the volume of the distortion relative to the light)
[b]OVERALL OPINION[/b]
Pedal to get a good bass distortion, ideal for any type of metal, but also for the Hard Rock ... I use it for all styles of live ca to send big sound.
For recordings cons, ca spits a little too quiet for most styles (pop rock, ...).
but personally, I use this pedal since I play guitar (6 years), and I do not separate. And seeing distortion Berhinger, Ok, it costs cheaper, but the difference in quality is immediately apparent.

Simple really simple one branch sets the gain, volume and EQ and is part sends it directly.
Small board (which is not a revelation, but use a good PSU to buzz gaffe otherwise).
[b]SOUND QUALITY[/b]
The MT-2 is very easy to adjust the EQ is very responsive and can cover a wide range of distorted sound. Although in my case I only used it to get a metal sound with very little cut medium.
The gain is huge I am served for almost 5 years as a preamp with a home made amp and send it wood (all proportions guarded).
[b]OVERALL OPINION[/b]
I no longer used today, but it is not a twinge of sadness but I'm just needs more in my new config.
This pedal I served for over 15 years and has never failed.
An incredible robustness whether generally or at the connectors.
Never had a problem with cracking or other false contacts is concrete (reinforced report his name ^ ^)
Go ahead with your eyes closed.
I do not put 10 because nothing is perfect but it is not far.

[b]OVERALL OPINION[/b]
voila,
personally the same basis as the digitech death metal, to benefit from the best clean channel I condemn my peavey amp (ValveKing 212) of the distortion remains the only "master" of the situation.
I have chosen to keep it for now (pending dune digitech metal master) because despite its lack of low and medium where everything is thoroughly, it gives very smooth phrasing that can be very enjoyable progressive metal as rock "satrianesque"
in any case it sends 100 times more than a pod in the return of a tube amp, I found what was a rather imposing presence and it is no worse qq hand, once again we have to find the best way and study all facets of the metal box to say that it is not that great.
each of the "kitchen" has finally sauce, which finds it too "bad" the bullies (it's going to be) I j knew in profis fired and has operated effectively.
I simply think that a metal master will be more "inside" with my death metal (for rhythm) and my digidelay,
So yes if I were, I do it again but this choice "made in japan" in possible

High gain distortion for metal.

When you're all alone at home, we really feel like "the" sound of metal that kills death and we are pleased we can dream ... The problem is that if we will repeat with, we already said that a noise gate would have been quite as breath is important. In addition, you have to put very hard to hear behind the bass and drums, shot a lot of feedback from a lot of headaches and ... Indeed, it may well be a very comprehensive EQ, the sound is very dug ...

For me, unattractive compared to other pedals in the same price class who own fewer large defects.

Everything has been said I think in many opinions on this pedal.
Foot-high gain distortion
-1 Volume knob "Level"
-2 Coaxial potentiometer EQ (low, medium, sharp and to choose a parametric midrange frequency change)
-1 Potentiometer for adjusting the level of distortion
-1 Input and 1 output
-9V battery or external
In short a distortion pedal rather complete level parameter.
[b]UTILIZATION[/b]
I always love the buttons and tweak what is not these unfortunate knob that scare me! The handling is very simple, the manual is almost useless. We shoot, we see what happens and then return it to understand what each buttons are.
[b]SOUND QUALITY[/b]
This should be about 6 years that I have this pedal if not more. I had a few months after my first electric guitar. Chooses a bit by default, being new at this at the time, I just wanted a distortion pedal to play the song of my favorite group of the time. I thought she was great with my little transistor amp marshall has 15 watts
With time I learned new things, my ear is improved, new equipment has arrived and after a year and a half I completely neglected. I finally find the foul and I still do.
The sound is neutral, synthetic, too "hardcore" for my taste and my style. The éqaliseur works very well gives a wide range of sounds but only unusable.
But there are quite a few months, out of curiosity I decided to resortir to experiment a bit, and especially out of the dust! And it is qu'additionner with the overdrive of my amp (100 watt ashdown fallen angel hybrid) I can get stuff from the beast! I could get the sound of the song "Till I Get My Way" Black Keys! It plays very well the role of EQ pedal with boost bonus.
[b]OVERALL OPINION[/b]
Conclusion:
Pedal very poor for my taste in "standalone" but is very effective coupled with an overdrive that will provide the necessary heat and restore some life to the metal box.
In my opinion it up to ca in most musical styles. Only, it will be suitable to the metal, trash, ect ect (area that does not attract me especially) but for all the other style (blues, rock, pop, alternative why not even RnB) it will use it wisely and not especially only. It's not really the ultimate distortion pedal for the novice!
So for now it remains in front of my amp. But once I have the means I highly likely to replace it with a good fuzz.
So much for my very first review
